I've been looking at different builds and the cost ranges for each of them and I started looking at Armalite parts and prices.  Something seems to be wrong with the prices or the complete upper and lower kits are missing something, because the total comes out to $835 or so for a complete upper and lower.  It also states that the upper barrel assembly comes with a bolt carrier group and a charging handle, so I'm not entirely sure what could be missing.  If anyone can cast a more experienced eye over the components and point out any mistakes that I may have made, I would be very grateful.  This will be my first build, so I'm definitely not an expert.

The upper barrel assembly:  Upper

The lower:  Lower

Thank you!

It's Armalite, you can do better looking through these threads of reviews and in stock parts for a better gun imo.

I thought Armalite was supposed to be high quality?
